Lini’s Surgery

January 7, 2022

Success! Lini had her surgery and it was a success and she’s already feeling better and able to walk a bit. Thanks for praying! We learned that she was taken to the better of the two hospitals in the town of Brookes Point. So she’s at the Leoncio private hospital. We’re thankful, because this means […]

Update on Lini – Need Met

January 5, 2022

Need Met! Thank you all so much for praying. And a heartfelt thank-you to all who generously (and quickly) gave gifts for LIni’s expenses. You’ve blown us away! To God be much glory for his provision. Based on the gifts that have shown up on our account and other gifts donors mentioned to us, we […]

UPDATE ON HOW TO GIVE FOR LINI

January 4, 2022

I Goofed… Some of you have mentioned having trouble with donating to Lini’s medical expenses. Apparently the scheme I described creates issues with IRS rules. I apologize. The mission is not allowed to have a designation “for Lini,” since she is neither a member of the mission or an official “project” of Ethnos360. The way […]

God Works Long Distance

October 11, 2021

Africa (w/out the Trip) If you’ve been following our recent saga, you know we weren’t able to actually go to Africa as planned. So we can’t call this an Africa Ministry Trip. But Bill was still able to do the ministry part. He pre-recorded his main introductory two-hour session last Sunday, once his cough was […]

We’ll keep you posted. Bill has been communicating with the hosts of the Africa workshop. He will do three sessions live over […]

When God has Different Plans

September 30, 2021

Thanks to all who prayed. We believe God heard your prayers and answered in an unexpected way. Sick! We were packed and ready. Our Uber to the airport was booked for 3:30 a.m. But Bill had a cough and other chest cold symptoms all through the night. It was worse in the morning. Then it […]

Good to be Negative

September 29, 2021

Here’s a very quick update (you’ll see why it’s quick in a minute.) We’re taking off on a ministry trip to AFRICA tomorrow! This is the first international trip we’ve taken since mid-2019 (Thanks to COVID). It’s Donna’s first trip AT ALL in about 2 years, and her first trip to Africa! We’re thankful to […]

A Time to Heal

April 20, 2021

Donna Broke Her wrist! Donna Broke Her Wrist! This is a quick update so you can be praying. The title of this blog comes from Ecclesiastes 3:3, which came up in Bill’s morning reading schedule the day after Donna’s accident, reminding us that God is in control, and that he does provide healing. Last Thursday, […]

Talk is not Cheap

March 7, 2021

Talking is Important. Missionaries need to talk… fluently! They have an important message to communicate. And it takes years of hard work to gain that fluency. That’s why Bill and his team are developing the updated Engage culture/language acquisition (CLA) how-to materials, and the Stages CLA app. We want to make the task easier by […]
